ATTORNEY Patented Nov. 5, 1929 CHARLES R. CORYELL, OF MAMARONECK, NEWYORK HOLDER FOR STICK .MATERIAL Application filed January This inventionrelates to holders for carrying small articles, such as for instance, alipstick, and more particularly to a novel construction thereofincluding means for advancing the article beyond the end of the body ofthe holder whereby it may be positioned conveniently for usel Accordingto the present invention a holder is provided comprising a holder tubewhich may be of non-circular cross section and in which may betelescopically mounted a carrier tube in which the article may beseated.

A cover member may alsozbe provided having a member projectingtherefromto engage the carrier tube for con-trolling the position thereof.

In a holder constructed in accordance with this invention the containedarticle may be advanced beyond the end of the holder tube by merelymoving the covermember longitudinally of the holder tube and thenswinging the cover member laterally to expose and allow free access tothe article itself.

An advantage of the construction according to thi invention is that anarticle of any desired the holder, the holder being of a corresponingshape.- Should the article carried constitute a lipstick it mayconvenientlybe constructed with an elliptical cross section and anelliptical holder employed in connection therewith. Various toilet andother articles, however, may be carried b means of this holder, such asshaving brus es, combs, etc., regardless of the shape of thecross-section of the particular article. r

' Furthermore, the construction is such that the article may be easilyadvanced for use and the article ma A be returned to its COIL- cealedposition an the holder closed by the cover member with equal facility.The cover member operates to substantially close the holder so that inclosed position should the article be soft or semi-soft, suchasvlipstick, it is prevented from leaking out and soiling the ocket orhandba in which the holder may ecarried. It is being contaminated byoutside substances by means of this construction.

The construction herein disclosed is Simple oss section may. be mounted,within rther prevented from 6, 1927. Serial No. 159,283.

and rugged and therefore cannot be easily broken, and the parts may beassembled and disassembled easily and inexpensively. In addition, theconstruction is such as to present a net and pleasing appearance.

Although the novel features which are believed to be characteristic ofthis invention will be pointed out with particularity in the claimsappended hereto, the invention itself,

as to its objects and advantages, the mode of its operation and themanner of its organization may be better understood by referring to thefollowing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawingsforming apart thereof, in which.

In the following description and in the claims parts will .be identifiedby specific names for convenience, but they are intended to be asgeneric in their application to similar parts as the art will permit.

ng still I means 'for grasping in Like reference characters denote likeparts in the several figures of the drawings.

Referring now te the drawings, and, more "particularly Figs. 1-6,inclusive, the holder may comprise a holder tube 1 which is shown in thedrawing as havin an elliptical cross section, although obvious y anyother desired cross section mlght be employed correspondin to that ofthe article to be carried. The hoTder tube 1 may have its lower endclosed and rounded and then pe'r end open, the upper edge being beveleor tapered as at 13 to. allow easy seating of the ca It may further beprovided with a pair longitudinally extending slots 2 in its side wallsfora purposle to be hereinafter described "more in detai Mounted withinthe holder tube 1 may be a carrier tube 3 of cross-section similar tothat of the holder tubeandadapted to fit, snugly therein and to telescoinside of the holder tube. The carrier tu e 3 may have both ends openand have openings 4 in its side walls for a pur ose to behereinafterdescribed. It may, a so, be provided with a bottom 5 whichmay be soldered or otherwise secured in position. The bottom 5 and thesides of the carrier tube 3 form a seat to carry the article, which isherein disclosed as a lipstick 6 and which is preferably of the samegeneral cross-section as that of the car-i rier tube and holder tube.

The holder may be closed by means of the cover member 8 comprising a cap9 having its upper end rounded and closed. The cap 9 may be enerallyelliptical in cross section and may e ada ted. to telescope over the,outside of the ho der tube 1 to the position shown in Figs. 1 and 4.The cap 9 may have its sides pressed or rolled inwardly to formr ,a pairof longitudinal grooves at the opposite ends of the longer transverseaxis thereof. The cap 9 may be further provided 'with a pair of holes 16in the wallnearthe. upper ends of said grooyes, said openings being ofthe roper size ,to permit wire 19 to be passed t erethrough. Wire 19having -been passedthrough openings 16 is bent to' form side armsIOeXtending parallel to the sides of cap 9, said arms being firmlyseated in'grooves 15,- thereby preventing relative movement of the capand arms.

The arms 10 are extended parallel to the sides of holder tube 1, theends thereof being bent transverselyat right angles, forming pivotportions 20. extending through slots 2 in said tube and throu h openings4 in carriertube 3, the ends being further bent upwardly as at 21.

Wire 19 being attached as above mentionedserves to control thepositioirof carrier tube 3 in the holder tube 1 and to rovide means formoving said carriertube ongitudinally thereof throughout the extent ofslots 2.

In order to advance the article for use the .cover member 8may be movedlongitudinally .relatively to the holder member 1 until the article isadvanced any desired distance beyond the holder member. The cover member8 may then be swung laterally about the pivot portions 20 first to theposition as shown in Fig. 5, and then to the position shown in Fig.

6, whence the lipstick 6 is ready for use. The

holder may, if desired, be grasped by the cap 9 and side arms 10 at thesame time it is grasped by the holder tube 1, thereby positivelypreventing retraction of the article into the holder tube during use.

When it is desired to close the holder, the

operation of the parts is reversed, the cap 9 being swung to the ositionshown in Fig.

, parts being then te escoped together with the cap 9 fitting down overthe holder tube 30 1 as shown inFig; 1.

Cap 9 may be made slightly larger than tube 1. to allow space forindentations formed by the grooves 15 to pass over the sides of theholder tube 1. In actual use, however, these indentations may be madeextremely small so that the increase .insiz e' of the cap is notnoticeable. Should the Wire 19 and grooves 15 be made sufiiciently smallit would i be unnecessaryto increase the size of cap 9,

the grooves themselves forming additional" friction means for lockingthe cap in closed 4 position.

If desired,-two separate pieces of wire may be used instead of thesingle piece. Referring. .95

nowto Fig. 7, the side arms 30 are made from two separate pieces ofwire. Each side arm 30 has its ends disposed in a groove 25 on the cap29 and bent inwardly through a hole 26 in the wall of the cap and then..100

downwardly to clamp-the'side member 30- firmly to the cap 29', thisconstruction'pre venting relative movement between the cap and sidearms. The rest of the holder shown in Fig. 7 may be constructed inthesame manner as the holder shown in Figs. 1-6, inclusive.

Referring to' Figure 8, the cover mem-' ber 35 is formed of a cap 36having a closed end and having its sidewalls pressed or bent,

inwardly to 'form longitudinally extended grooves 37. The side arms 38are made up of a single piece 'of wire 39, generally U-shaped,

the wire being bent at right angles to'forin a pivot portion 40extending through the slots 41 in the holder tubev 42 and through holesin'the carrier tube'43. The upper ends of the side arms 38 are disposedin the grooves 37 and bent inwardly throu 'h holes 44 in the .,walls ofthe cap,'then dow wardly, thewire, being clamped around the wall of thecap to -12!) prevent any relative movement between the ap and the sidearms. The upper end of the older tube 42 ma be beveled as at 45 tofacilitate closing 0 the cap 36 down over the holder tube. In Fig. 9,the holder tube may be provided with'longitudinally extending slots 51in the sidewalls, its upper edges having notches 52 in line with theslots.

The -carrier tube'53 may be telescopically 13 0 mounted within theholder tube 50 and provided with openings and a bottom plate 54. Alipstick or other material ma be set in the carrier tube 53, as is wellun erstood.

The cover member 55 is made up of a cap 56 having a disk portion 57 witha projecting flange portion 58, the flange portion being provided with abutton 59 which may be of some ornamental design, and which can beeasily grasped by the user for opening and closing the holder. Dependingfrom thedisk portion 57 may be a central projection 60 having anopening) therethrough through which a wire 61 may e passed. This wire isfirmly secured in said opening by soldering or otherwise, and is bentdownwardly to form side arms 62 snugly fitting the walls of the holdertube 50, ,the lower ends of theside arms being bent inwardly to formpivot portions 63 passing through the slots 51'in the holder tube andthe holes in the carriertube, the spring of the wire material holdingthe side arms in position.

V It will be undestood that when the parts are in closed position asshown in Fig. 9, the transverse upper portion 64 of the wirewill be disosed in the notches 52 and the disk portion 5? will besnuglyfitted'inside the upper edge of the holder tube with the flange 58projecting out.

It will be appreciated that this modification is operated in a mannersimilar to modifications described above. An outstanding feature of thismodification, however, is the provision of a button so positioned andarranged that it may be readily grasped by the fingers in such mannerthat, when the cover member is moved longitudinally away from the holdertube and then swung later ally, the fingers are not liable to touch andbreak the stick material. A further feature of the modificationdescribed above is the provision of the spring side arms 62' which may.-be easily but not accidentally sprung out of the holes in the vcarriertube 53.. This allows easy removal and replacing of the carrier member53, together with its contained stick material, it being within thecontemplation of this invent-ion to provide combination refills ofcarrier member and stick material. These refills can be replaced.

as a unit in the holder-when the'old stick material is used up.

In 10, the covermember 90 may be made up'of a plate 91 having acylindrical portion' 92v with side arms 93 depending therefrom. Theplate 91 may be provided with an opening in which maybe sprung aspherical member 94 having a split skirt 95. Either the skirt 95 or thecylindrical portion 92 or both together, as shown inFig. 10, may beutilized to hold the cover member 90 in closed position on the holdertube 96'.

Referring now to Fig. 11, the cover meniber 99 comprises a cylindricalcap 100 having a closed end and depending side arms 101,

,the cap telescoping over the outside of the holdertube 102. The capmaybe provided with openings in which may be sprung a bail 103, thisbail providing convenient means for grasping the cover 99 in opening andclosing and for-attaching to a chain or the like, if desired.

In Fig. 12, the cover member 105 comprises a flat cap 106 having a pairof integral side arm's 107 depending therefrom. The flat cap 106 has aknob 108 secured thereto by soldering or otherwise and a cylindricalwall 109 Itshould be noted that the species shown in Fig. 9, and Figs.10, 1 1 and .12, are provided with finger-engaging means which are soarranged and so POSliZlOIlGdthat they may be grasped by the fingers inopening and closing the holder in suchv manner that the position of thefingers automatically is such that they cannot accidentally touch thelipstick or other stick material as the cover member is swung laterally.It will be obvious that this is a very meritorious feature since, if nospecial means is provided,'there is chance that in opening and closingthe holder, the finger will touch the lipstick resulting not only. insoiling the fingers but possibly. 1n breaking the lipstick.

Due to the construction of the holder, the shape of the article is notlimited to any particular'cross-section, although it has been disclosedfor purposes of illustration as ell1pt1- cal. The article may be fed toa useable position by means which is independent of shape ofcross-section by a simple longitudinal relative movement of the parts,thereby providing a simple and efiicient mechanism whichmay be ruggedand inexpensive and which is not likely to get out of order.

While the holder has been described a I lipstick holder, it is obviousthat the holder maybe used to carry and dispense any other substance inthe form of a stick.

While certain novel features of the inven-- tionhave been shown anddescribed and are pointed out in the annexed claims, it willbeunderstood that various omissions, substitutions and changes in .theforms and details of the device illustratedand in its-operation may bemade by those skilled in the art without imparting from the spirit ofthe .invention.
